Its Momart art storage and logistics business installed the “Vikings: life and legend” exhibition at the British Museum, featuring a warship, swords, coins, jewellery and chess pieces.

This helped offset reduced profits from the Falklands, where activities span retailing, property, insurance, hotels, shipping and fishing. They should benefit from oil exploration in the South Atlantic next year.

Chairman David Hudd said: “Momart has had an outstanding year with record levels of activity. In the Falkland Islands, significant growth awaits oil activity.”

Berserkers were Viking warriors who fought in a trance-like fury.
